Squishy and bloated--haha! I didn't really feel that way, but I was up 4 pounds too after my weekend, and that was really only 2 dinners out...ah well, it comforts me that we all do the same. Roni over on roni's weigh also ate junk while she was on vacation. And all of us are just real people who have been successful at getting weight off and keeping it off. So I guess that's just life.

it is HOT up here too. glad you had a good weekend and the kiddos made it all weekend with your mom (from the sounds of it). Right back on the wagon sounds good. I always think of Helen when I hear that - she can take a week off (with moderation) - and then hop right back on the very next day.

About Me

Hi there! I'm glad you stopped by to read my blog today. My name is Laura. I'm 45 years old, a working mom of 2, married to Mark for 20 years. In 2007 I lost 55 pounds, and also discovered that I love to run. In 2008 I got to 146 pounds and ran a half marathon in 2 hours 15 minutes. I was strong and fast and thin. But I gained back 40 pounds in 2010-2011. I am a statistic--I regained a lot of what I lost. But I am not a quitter. I kept searching for an "answer" to my weight problem, and on August 20, 2012, I went to my first OA meeting. I admitted I am powerless over food and I believed a power greater than myself could restore me to sanity. I have been abstinent from sugar/fat/flour foods since October 4, 2012. Although I will always be addicted to food, I am no longer its slave. Who knows where my weight will end up? It's not my business anymore. I'm no longer obsessed with food or diets, and food doesn't cloud my thinking any longer. I'm living my life--the good, the bad, and the ugly. It's a pretty darn good life. And I still love to run.
